Happy Friday!

This week’s freebie is a coloring page that was a part of the Adult Coloring Book Treasury. It was fun to collaborate with other artists to make this book! This page got quite a few head nods as many of you agreed with the sentiment. I hope it gives you a giggle and you can relate to it as I do!

Have a fantastic week and stay sassy!xoxo​Cristin

P.S.

It’s Friday!

I hope you like this week’s free coloring page. I think it’s perfect if you or someone you know is turning 50. The saying was a request from one of my Patreon subscribers and it gave me such a giggle that I decided to make it available to everyone. ‘It would make a humorous card or you can even frame it and give it as a gag gift.

IT’S FRI-YAY! HERE’S YOUR FREE COLORING PAGE

Do you know what else today is? It’s mah-bert-dayyyyyy! So you can be sure I will be celebrating all weekend. Heck, I might even stretch it out all month because... why not?

I’m not sure what the weather is like where you are, but here in upstate New York, it’s currently snowing like crazy.NOT cool, New York, not cool. I’ve even heard people referring to this season as Sprinter.I am so ready for sunshine and tulips and bumblebees. In my hopeful thinking, I hand lettered this little saying and turned it into a coloring page for you. I hope your weather is nicer than mine and that you enjoy coloring this page.

XOXO

When I published my first coloring book a year ago, I felt like a rockstar. Famous, even. I was a celebrity in my own mind. I mean, there was no red carpet, no awards, and certainly no cushy bank accounts. But I felt accomplished.

Fast forward to a year later and that rockstar status has become my embarrassment.

In just one year, I have improved my drawing, my techniques, updated my materials, and have learned from my mistakes. I am making far better art than I was a year ago. And now that amateurish published book has become my embarrassment.

I have argued with myself if I should go back and fix my embarrassing published book or just leave it and keep making new art. The perfectionist in me sided with fixing it.

I want all of my sassy colorists to truly love my work. So not only am I redrawing all of the original pages, I'm adding 10 additional pages to the book!

I hate to think of what my other books will seem like to me a year from now.

Anyway! Since a new book needs a new cover, I need your help! If you like coloring, please consider entering my contest.

And if you have done something embarrassing and have a chance to fix it, do it and rock it even harder this time!

One more thing before I get to the contest...I can't believe I'm doing this but if you want a chance to own my embarrassment before the revised version takes over, click here.
